Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

Above the moon, inside Hamura Temple.

Several elders stood around the enormous Tenseigan, their eyes tightly shut and their expressions grim.

Behind them stood several middle-aged men. Their faces were pale, and their Byakugan were filled with anxiety.

After quite some time, the elders finally opened their eyes, and one of the middle-aged men could not help asking.

"Grand Elder, do we have any results?"

"No."

The Grand Elder gently shook his head, his brows furrowed with solemnity.

"What exactly is going on? Who is controlling the Tenseigan, and who is the Tenseigan supplying Chakra to?"

Not long ago, the moon's "sun" had suddenly dimmed somewhat, and the floating islands seemed to have trembled slightly as well.

They immediately realized that something had gone wrong with the Tenseigan. After all, the Tenseigan supplied all the energy needed within the moon!

However, the elders of the Moon Ōtsutsuki had not immediately cut off those powers. Instead, they had quickly investigated through the Tenseigan.

Unfortunately, no matter how they probed, they seemed unable to find an answer!

"This person possesses the ability to control the Tenseigan just like we do."

Another elder spoke up, his expression somewhat dark.

"Could it be those ungrateful wretches who have forgotten their ancestors..."

"It shouldn't be them. Their bloodline has long since degenerated, and they have even forgotten their own surname!"

The Grand Elder shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he spoke in a low voice.

"What worries me more is that this was done by the person who stole the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

Those words immediately caused everyone inside Hamura Temple to change expression slightly.

The loss of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was already a disgrace to every one of them!

They had also used the Tenseigan to investigate, but unfortunately, they had never obtained any results.

And now, this person had set his sights on the sacred artifact they had created to fulfill their ancestor's final wishes, an artifact formed by sacrificing countless Clan Members and gathering the ocular power of countless Byakugan...

This was simply unforgivable!

"Enough. Let's not talk about that for now."

After a long while, the Grand Elder finally broke the deathly silence.

"Whoever it is, we will eventually investigate this thoroughly. But our priority is to cut off the Tenseigan's energy, because..."

"This is power meant for Toneri!"

Under the driving force of the Chakra Beads, an enormous storm swept across the forest in an instant!

The Chakra Beads were fundamentally very different from the Truth-Seeking Orb.

The Truth-Seeking Orb was a technique that required all seven types of Chakra to use, whereas the Chakra Beads only required Yin Release and Yang Release!

This thing was somewhat similar to the "Black Rods" produced by the Rinnegan, but its power was far greater than that of the "Black Rods."

Especially when combined with the Tenseigan, the destructive power it could produce was simply unimaginable!

"And this technique suits me especially well. After all, I only have Yin Release and Yang Release..."

Hyuga Makoto muttered, and in the next instant, he controlled the storm and swept it toward Orochimaru and Scorpion!

Under the surging storm, the countless puppets Scorpion had spread throughout the sky were as tiny as ants.

What was even more terrifying was...

"Damn it!"

Scorpion cursed. He suddenly discovered that he could no longer control his puppets!

This had happened before, so he had deliberately released all his puppets, intending to use their numbers to deal with this situation!

However, he was horrified to discover that even after releasing every puppet, someone could still strip him of control.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Scorpion roared inwardly, but could only watch helplessly as his puppets lost control in the sky.

They drifted in the wind like rootless duckweed before finally being shredded into dust by the storm!

In the blink of an eye, his enormous puppet army had almost been wiped out, and the storm slammed into Orochimaru's Rashomon!

Boom—

The instant the storm struck Rashomon, a white light quietly appeared.

The light was initially only a tiny point, but then it suddenly intensified. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to envelop the entire area!

An ear-piercing roar reverberated throughout the forest. Under the storm's impact, the first Rashomon shattered instantly.

"This..."

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically. He had never expected the first Rashomon to be destroyed so quickly!

This was the secret technique of the First Hokage. According to legend, the First Hokage could use it to easily withstand the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.

Even if Orochimaru could only summon three layers, it still shouldn't have been so fragile, should it?

But before he could figure it out, the surging force had already slammed heavily into the second Rashomon.

Amid the constantly rising dust and smoke, the second Rashomon was pierced through in an instant as well!

The gate of the Asura demon god shattered into flying ash in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace along with the roaring energy.

The moment it dispersed, the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion once again struck the third Rashomon with ruthless force!

The visible shock wave grew even more violent, and the overflowing energy instantly spread to the nearby town.

The town's wooden houses and brick tiles broke and collapsed in an instant, being shredded into pieces along with the collapse of the third Rashomon!

"Damn it!"

Orochimaru and Scorpion had nowhere left to hide this time, nor did they have any chance to do so.

In that instant, they were covered by the terrifying storm, and its violent power began rapidly corroding their bodies!

Boom—

Another surging roar erupted, and several kilometers away, Kakashi and the others were swept off their feet by the shock wave.

They immediately got up and prepared themselves, but when they saw the scene behind them, their eyes widened involuntarily!

"This is..."

The dust and smoke slowly dispersed, revealing that the originally lush forest seemed to have had a section carved out of it.

Within that area, the trees and rocks had vanished without a trace, as if it had become a barren plain. Nothing remained but endless desolation!

At that moment, every one of them fell completely silent.

This kind of power had truly exceeded their imagination!

"This is already no weaker than the power of a Tailed Beast..."

Most of them had experienced the Night of the Nine-Tails. They had either gone with the others to take refuge or been sealed inside a secure area.

But they had still seen the destruction caused by the Nine-Tails. The problem was, that had been a Tailed Beast!

"Let's go..."

After a long while, Kakashi finally broke the silence.

"We have to return to the village as quickly as possible. The intelligence we obtained this time is far too important!"

"Yes!"

Hyuga Makoto, Tenzo, and Uchiha Itachi immediately nodded, then followed Kakashi as they quickly left.

Hyuga Makoto, however, cast a discreet glance toward the sky. His main body was right there!

"Looks like it's over..."

In the sky, Hyuga Makoto looked down at everything below and nodded inwardly.

Although he felt somewhat regretful that he had only condensed three Chakra Beads before the group of lunatics on the moon cut off the energy, even with only three beads, and even though he could not use Tenseigan Chakra Mode, the power of the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion had left him very satisfied!

He now had a rough idea of how much energy he could draw before being discovered.

He also had a rough idea of the effects he could produce, which would allow him to act with greater composure in the future!

"However, this is ultimately external power. Improving myself is the key, or perhaps..."

Wouldn't it be better to turn external power into his own?

"It's time to head back."

After taking a deep breath, Hyuga Makoto reached out and precisely pulled the head of a puppet up from the ground.

He then turned around and flew toward his Shadow Clone, using the Tenseigan Chakra remaining inside his body.

"This exhaustion after the power was severed is even worse than before. It seems I have to accelerate the development of my bloodline."

As Hyuga Makoto looked at the scarlet eyes inside the puppet's head, he muttered inwardly.

But just then, his system finally flashed!

[Side Quest Complete: I Am a Proud Shinobi, Defeat Orochimaru and Scorpion]

[Reward Obtained: Part of Kakashi's Yin Release]

"Kakashi? Isn't that supposed to be Obito?"

Hyuga Makoto's expression became rather strange. Was the Sharingan really considered to belong to whoever it was implanted in?

But he was too lazy to dwell on it. This time, he had finished everything he had set out to do!

However, not long after he left, a black-and-white head suddenly emerged from the barren ground.

The black half looked around in terror. Only after a long while did he speak in disbelief.

"Who is this? What exactly happened here!?"
